At the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2026), Noetix Robotics took the stage with Bumi, N2, E1, and its latest addition, Xiaoyue. Through interactive experiences, multi-robot coordination demos, and a broad product lineup, the company showcased how humanoid robots are transitioning from technical novelties to practical, real-world applications.
Focusing on Bumi, Noetix Robotics demonstrated its recent over-the-air (OTA) upgrade capabilities at the event. In the demo zone, staff walked attendees through the update process using the NOETIX Run App. Once upgraded, Bumi’s movement repertoire and interactive capabilities were significantly expanded.
In Noetix Robotics’ view, consumer-grade robots shouldn’t be static hardware the moment they leave the factory. Instead, like smartphones and smart vehicles, they should evolve and improve continuously through user interaction.

Noetix Robotics also staged a multi-robot group dance featuring Bumi. Positioned at the center of the booth, three units moved in perfect sync to perform a full routine, executing every step with precision and rhythm.
Beyond visual appeal, the synchronized dance offered more than just a single-robot demo. It highlighted the company’s advancements in motion control, task scheduling, and collaborative execution.
All collaborative maneuvers were powered by Noetix Robotics’ distributed, low-latency group control system. Equipped with lightweight wireless sync modules and a unified timing calibration algorithm, the setup achieves millisecond-level alignment, allowing for the synchronized operation of dozens of robots at once.
Noetix Robotics argues that while single units are the foundation, the real value lies in coordination. As robots enter complex environments—such as commercial events, cultural exhibitions, and classrooms—the ability for multiple devices to work together will be critical for boosting efficiency.
To drive this technology forward, Noetix Robotics is building an ecosystem that connects channel partners, venue operators, and developers. The company has secured a strategic partnership with JD.com to integrate with its platform, while also leveraging industry summits to connect upstream and downstream players—paving the way for the large-scale deployment of its group control solutions.

Beyond Bumi, the biomimetic robot Xiaoyue emerged as another focal point at the booth, drawing attention with its eye-contact interactions.
Unlike simple voice-based Q&A, Xiaoyue prioritizes responses through eye contact and facial expressions to create a more immersive experience. This approach reflects Noetix Robotics’ broader goal: robots should ultimately integrate into daily life, not just perform on a stage.
Toward that end, Noetix Robotics is actively exploring applications for its consumer-grade humanoid robots across a variety of settings.
For instance, Bumi is being tailored for family interaction, parent-child bonding, early tech education, and programming. Meanwhile, models like the N2 and E1 are finding their place in education, tourism, and trade shows. Looking ahead, Xiaoyue will be positioned for cultural exhibitions, commercial engagement, brand experiences, and IP collaborations.
Data from the recent JD.com 618 shopping festival shows Noetix Robotics dominating the humanoid robot category. The company secured top spots for sales revenue, volume, and popularity, with revenue climbing 254% sequentially and volume jumping 160%.
